Quick Search Tips

The Quick Search function supports a full range of query options. Below are just a few examples of what is possible. These search options may be combined to create an extremely advanced query with precise (and interesting!) results.

Note: Quick Search results are returned by default with a RELEVANCY sort. The MAKER, TITLE, NATIONALITY, MEDIUM, CLASSIFICATION, GEOGRAPHY, and DEPARTMENT fields are ranked higher than the other indexed fields. Accordingly, if the search term appears in these fields, the record will be sorted closer to the top of the results list.
